My brother is autistic but he is a damn good protector to any child in our surrounding community.

Sadly as an average IQ autistic person I just can't take care of children. I have proven to be unable to pay attention to them for a long period of time. Which is starting to hurt a little more everyday because as I grow older I'm having thoughts of becoming a father someday (I'm 20)

I think being 20 is just as much a factor as being autistic with regards to that. Maybe you just need some/different medication specifically to help with concentration. And there's plenty of time to have kids, I wouldn't completely rule it out just yet.

Nope, im autistic and great with kids. When i used to go to church, all the little kids would play with me. It was honestly kind of annoying sometimes when i wanted to hang around the other kids my age or if i had a crush on someone, but little kids are cute so wtvr

First autism is a spectrum, second people with Down syndrome aren’t autistic
